director Mr Lloyd. Mr Lloyd claims "browser generated information" collected by Google included racial or ethnic origin, physical and mental heath, political affiliations or opinions, sexuality and sexual interests and social class. Mr Lloyd's application to serve notice of the legal action on Google outside the jurisdiction of England and Wales was refused by the High Court in October 2018. But, following a challenge by Mr Lloyd, three judges at the Court of Appeal concluded the legal action can go ahead. Google had contended that the type of "representative action" being brought against it by Mr Lloyd is unsuitable and should not go ahead.
